Bulk Product Surgeon

Edit 1,000 products in the time it takes to describe the change

Shopify's bulk editor can't handle complex updates. This recipe lets you describe the change in plain English — "add 10% to all prices in the Summer collection" or "update all product tags containing 'sale' to 'clearance'" — and your Claw executes it across your entire catalog.

PROMPT

Help me bulk edit products on my [Shopify/WooCommerce] store. I want to: [describe your change in plain English — e.g., "increase all prices by 10% for products in the 'Summer Collection'", "change all tags from 'sale' to 'clearance'", "update meta descriptions for all products in category X"]. Before executing: show me a preview of affected products (count + 5 examples). After my approval, execute via batch API. Log all changes so I can undo if needed. Support complex conditions: if product has tag X AND price > $50, then [action].

How It Works

Tell your Claw what you want to change in natural language. It translates

your instruction into batch API operations, shows you a preview of

affected products, and executes the update after your approval. Handles

price changes, tag updates, variant edits, metafield modifications, and

description rewrites.

What You Get

  • Natural language bulk edits ("raise prices 15% on all products tagged 'winter'")
  • Preview of all affected products before execution
  • Rollback capability (changes are logged so you can undo)
  • Complex conditional logic (if/then rules across product attributes)
  • Variant-level edits (change prices on specific sizes or colors)
  • Metafield and custom field updates

Setup Steps

  1. Connect your store API (Shopify Admin API or WooCommerce REST API)
  2. Describe the change you want in plain English
  3. Your Claw shows a preview: "This will affect 347 products. Here are 5 examples..."
  4. Approve the change
  5. Execution runs via batch API — progress updates in real time

Tips

  • Always review the preview — a poorly worded instruction can hit products you didn't intend
  • Use tags and collections strategically so you can target bulk edits precisely
  • Shopify's GraphQL bulk operations can handle millions of records — your Claw uses this for large catalogs
  • Schedule recurring edits: "Every Monday, mark last week's new arrivals as 'featured'"
  • Keep the change log — it's your undo button and your audit trail
